But two vacancies were contingent upon two Democrat-appointed judges following through on their plans to leave active service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Those judges included Wynn, 70, who in January announced plans to take senior status contingent upon a successor being confirmed. On Friday, he told Biden he had changed his mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">\u201cI apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused,\u201d Wynn wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">The Article III Project, a group run by Trump ally Mike Davis, late Friday announced it had meanwhile filed judicial misconduct complaints against the two trial court judges who likewise rescinded retirement plans post-election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-s3ycb2\">Those judges are the US district judge Max Cogburn in North Carolina and the US district judge Algenon Marbley in Ohio.
